Looking for Sabiston/Orkney

[AniMac]

HI, I am stuck with my G Grandfather James Sinclair (his parents were James Sinclair/Jane Cromach?), and his wife Isabella Sabiston.  He was the Gas Works Manager in Stromness. 

I have the date of their marriage from another Cert as 8/7/1862 Sandwick but cant find any registration on Scotlands People.

I can't find Isabella's birth either which would be around 1759.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hey there!

I have Sabistons on my wife's side; Elizabeth Sabiston married Robert Sanderson.

If any of this interests you, let me know, and I will share what information that I have.

Hello Kenjo,

We have a little anomoly with Isabella!  and you may well be able to say why this happens as I know people used not always give their correct date of birth/age.

From your info, we have Isabella Christened 1837.
From the 1841 Census Sandwick she is supposed to be 3, but 3 from 1841 = 1838, so she was (am laughing) Christened before born.

Annie,
If you look carefully, she was to have her birthday in 1841.
So when the census happened she would have still been 3yrs.
Mind you, always have an open mind, they fib, all the time when they get to being more than 10yrs old, I am meaning females. , and in the 1841c once they were not children the ages can be rounded to 5 and even 10yrs.

The error I refered to, is this.

I can't find Isabella's birth either which would be around 1759.

regards,
Jo
and yes, I am, in Australia, and it is 5.36 am.

It also helps if I dont make huge errors the 17** was such a one.

You must be an insomniac   

Hope the weather is good over there.  Am flying out to NZ to meet my daughter halfway round her world trip in a couple of weeks.  Cant wait!

Have fun you lucky duck......
